Vote on Miracle Mile HPOZ postponed until March 28

The city released an updated map for the Miracle Mile HPOZ boundaries to reflect the March 21 recommendation to re-instate properties along Olympic Boulevard and north of Eighth Street.

The Los Angeles City Council vote on the Miracle Mile HPOZ has been postponed until Tuesday, March 28.

The time for public comment during a land use committee hearing on March 21 was limited to 30 minutes due to the number of cards submitted. Councilman Jose Huizar – chairman of the committee that unanimously recommended approval of the HPOZ – said he had not seen that many comment cards for one item during a committee hearing in a long time.

Since many in attendance did not get the opportunity to speak, Council President Herb Wesson – whose district includes part of the Miracle Mile HPOZ – wanted to allow time for public comment before the final city council vote.

According to a spokesman for Councilman David Ryu – whose district covers most of the HPOZ boundaries – more time will be available for public comment during Tuesday’s meeting. It was originally scheduled for March 24.

On Friday, the city released an updated map of the HPOZ boundaries to reflect the committee’s decision on March 21 to re-instate properties along Olympic Boulevard and north of Eighth Street.

The Miracle Mile HPOZ will now move to the full city council for a vote on Tuesday, March 28. The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. at city hall, located at 200 N. Spring St.
